Chapter 171: Battle City, Beidou Temple

"The wall was broken. Was it this monster that did it?"

He guessed with his eyes flickering.

"Then how did it die?"

Bai Xiao raised his head and looked at the arrow slits on the towering walls on both sides. Several terracotta warriors holding stone bows and arrows stood still, motionless, looking as if they were no threat. However, if someone invaded, they would probably be struck by thunder in the next second and blown to pieces by arrows comparable to cannonballs.

"Are these archers?"

He changed his angle slightly and looked at the skull from a distance. He suddenly discovered that there was a huge deep cut mark between the eyebrows of the skull. It looked like when this giant was alive, someone had hit it hard on the head with a hideous battle axe, almost cutting the head off!

"It should not be these archers, but some other strong men who killed this giant monster..." Bai Xiao muttered to himself, looking forward again.

It can be seen that behind this gap in the city wall, there should be a place that was once used as a residential area. The road made of gray stones is damaged one by one, gradually spreading into the distance. The buildings on both sides are ups and downs, lined up one after another, and the overall style is more like a rectangular block. From a distance, it looks like a piece of gray-black building blocks spliced ​​together, with only white tiles.

"Go in and take a look?"

He looked at the foggy streets of the city and thoughts came to his mind.

"But these archers..."

Bai Xiao showed a fearful look.

Although his strength has increased recently, the impression left by the terracotta soldiers on the city wall was too deep, and each arrow was like a flying missile.

Even if I can handle it occasionally, I'm afraid I'll have to pay a price.

“Forget it. It seems that this city is more dangerous than outside the city. Let’s collect some fear energy in the Imperial Cemetery first.”

Bai Xiao weighed the pros and cons and finally made such a plan.

However, just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly discovered that the gray-black fog around him had become incredibly dense, like a living thing with substance, rolling and rubbing against the ground, making a rustling sound. The gray fog spots spread from the imperial cemetery in the distance, slowly swallowing him.

"This is……"

Just as Bai Xiao frowned, the terracotta soldiers on the city wall suddenly pulled out arrows and shot.

Bend the bow and loosen the string.

call out!!!!

Several black stone arrows were shot out at an extremely fast speed, squeezing out a transparent cavity in the air with an astonishing power.

Bang bang bang bang!

The arrow collided with the entity and exploded with a loud bang, causing a violent commotion.

The turbulent air flow seemed to outline a strange contour.

It was a giant, taller and more muscular than the totem colossus, wearing heavy armor. In his extremely exaggerated muscular hands, he held a black sword with a notch, and the guards were extremely ferocious skull fangs. The giant had no head, and at his neck, there were six thick black strips, like dancing tentacles or ferocious conjoined venomous snakes. At this moment, he was roaring at the city wall.

"hiss!!!"

A dense mass of black lines shot out and instantly hit the wall. The rune wall suddenly lit up, but it was still corroded into a deep pit half the size of a person. In the deep pit, lines twisted and squirmed like parasites, entangled together, and climbed upwards frantically.

They reached the top of the wall at the fastest speed and formed into a strange shape.

An extremely terrifying humanoid creature with long arms and legs. The original palms and soles of the feet were replaced by twisted black tentacles like tree roots.

The humanoids instantly rushed towards the terracotta soldiers and started fighting.

At the same time, the headless giant in the mist also rushed over. The huge footsteps shook the ground, and a terrifying aura quickly spread over.

whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The other terracotta warriors who were not entangled drew their bows and drew their arrows again.

The arrows shot out like miniature missiles, hitting the headless giant. Suddenly, black runes flashed on the surface of the stone arrows.

A shocking explosion occurred, and the terrifying flames expanded into fireballs.

Even the headless giant paused.

However, it still rushed forward madly, waving the exaggerated sword in its hand.

However, at a corner of the wall, at some point, a huge specially made crossbow was pushed out, as big as a small car. The entire crossbow was more than ten times larger than the bow and arrow in the hands of the terracotta warriors, with hard edges and corners, ferocious and powerful arcs, and an arrow as thick as a spear!

The three terracotta warriors pulled the crossbow a little bit, and gorgeous vine-like patterns on the surface of the huge crossbow lit up inch by inch, and the dangerous aura soared at an extremely fast speed.

“Buzz!”

BANG!!!

The arrow instantly penetrated a distance of nearly 100 meters and hit the headless giant.

In an instant, a scarlet flame the size of a house engulfed it.

The violent shock wave swept across the surrounding fog.

Bai Xiao's eyes fixed, and he suddenly saw the headless giant reappearing. Half of his body was directly shattered, and only one of the six black snake-like tentacles remained, smoking like a wilt. The heavy armor was shattered, and only half of the hilt of the seemingly powerful sword in his hand remained.

"This power..."

He was absolutely certain that if he were hit like this, he would probably...

Fortunately, I didn't rush in rashly relying on the recent surge in strength.

The next second, Bai Xiao's pupils shrank slightly again because of shock.

Because, deep in the gray-black fog, over at the Empire Cemetery, huge monsters revealed their terrifying and majestic outlines. Some of them crawled out from underground, some came from afar, or fell from the sky.

The footsteps stepped on the ground, making a sound like an earthquake.

A strange roar came from inside the body, and terrifying black spots lit up bit by bit.

It seems that no existence has a weaker aura than the headless giant.

"Depend on……"

Bai Xiao just said that it was safer outside the city than inside. Maybe he was just lucky not to encounter one before, or maybe the truly terrifying monsters in the Empire Cemetery revived and walked in cycles. He was ignorant and fearless.

Boom boom boom!

From all directions, huge figures attacked the city.

That omnipresent sense of threat and oppression.

It made the white owl's hair stand on end.

On the city wall, there was a series of running sounds, and a large number of terracotta warriors wearing stone armor appeared from nowhere, and in a short time, they densely occupied the top of the wall. Moreover, huge crossbow carts were quickly pushed out, aiming at various strange monsters, and after locking on the accurate target.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...bang!

A salvo fired, flames burst, and explosions sounded.

The two sides started fighting instantly, and an astonishing siege broke out.

At this moment, Bai Xiao's sense of urgency has reached its maximum. Although his death in the nightmare does not mean true death, it is better to live. He always feels that dying here will have very serious consequences!

A thought came to my mind.

Bai Xiao's figure suddenly flashed, and he stepped on the wind and thunder, turning into a black meteor that flew far away and shot straight towards the gap in the wall.

The terracotta soldiers were being held back by the monsters outside the wall and had no time to take care of anything else!

Maybe I can try to rush into the city and find out what’s going on!

Bai Xiao's blood and energy burst out again, he stepped on the ground, and ran in at full speed again. But even so, he still attracted more than a dozen arrows!

Bang bang bang bang bang...

In a series of fiery explosions, debris flew everywhere and smoke filled the sky.

A tall figure rushed past, his body wrapped in wind and fire, and his back seemed to be pushed by the huge impact force, accelerating into the gray-black street.

Soon it disappeared in the mist.

…

"call……"

In the city, at street corners, and in quiet places.

Bai Xiao took a deep breath and checked his injuries.

Luckily, he reacted quickly and moved quickly, so he wasn't hit by the arrow.

However, Bai Xiao was still bombarded by shock waves from all directions. His blood and qi were violently agitated, and there was a burning sensation on his back. The membrane might have been broken.

Time was short, and he had no time to explore the core of fear in the huge white skull. He was lucky to be able to rush in at this opportunity. Bai Xiao looked at the hazy environment around him and took a deep breath.

At this moment, I finally realized the danger of terrifying nightmares.

A lot of mysteries and unknowns gradually emerge.

As his thoughts changed, Bai Xiao was the only one standing quietly on the street.

The surroundings were completely empty, without a trace of any living creature.

At a glance, the black stone street lamps on the street had faint green flames on the top, illuminating the surrounding area even in the fog.

"This is……"

Bai Xiao glanced into the distance and walked over quickly.

He stopped beneath a bronze road sign and paused.

There were signs pointing to four directions on the road sign. This seemed to be a fork in the road. On the surface of the sign, there were some unknown words and symbols.

"City... City Lord's Mansion..."

"War city, military camp."

"Seven Stars Square."

"Hokuto…the Temple?"

Bai Xiao suddenly realized that he actually knew the meaning of these words.

He frowned and thought for a moment before he remembered. It seemed to be a fragment of memory from the totem colossus. Because it was too fragmented, it could not be pieced together into a complete puzzle. Only when you come into contact with familiar things can you briefly recall the relevant memories. So Bai Xiao understood these words at this moment.

"Conquest City?"

He muttered to himself.

Conquest City seems to be the name of this magnificent city!

“Boom boom boom…”

Suddenly, in the distance, there was a huge sound of fighting and collision. It was obviously the monsters from the Battle City and the Empire Cemetery pouring in, and the battle was getting fierce.

“Pick a direction to explore.”

A thought immediately flashed through Bai Xiao's mind.

It seemed to be some scattered memories from the totem colossus.

"Beidou...the Temple?"

He didn't know what was in this place called the Temple, but the memory from the totem statue told Bai Xiao that this place was very important, and it might even be the most important place in the entire Conquest City, even more important than the City Lord's Mansion!

"In the notes of the senior brother, there seems to be a mention of something called the Power of the Big Dipper. It's a pity that I haven't read it yet. When I come back from this terrifying nightmare, I must take a closer look..." He raised his head and looked forward with deep eyes.

Moving his feet, Bai Xiao slowly walked into the alley in front.

This is a passage more than three meters wide, with basketball-sized square slabs on the ground. The slabs are somewhat loose, making a slight creaking sound when stepped on, and weeds occasionally grow in the gaps along the edge of the road.

On both sides are residential areas, with houses standing quietly in the gray fog.

The dark windows looked like mouths, opening and closing constantly.

Air poured in, making a humming sound.

A figure walked quickly through the alley and headed towards a target in the distance.

The white owl took a step forward towards the gray fog.

When your feet step on some loose stone slabs, they make a clicking sound.

“Click, click, click!”

Suddenly, a heavier clicking sound appeared on the silent road.

It was as if two people's footsteps overlapped in an instant.

Swish!

The white owl suddenly turned its head, its sharp eyes as fierce as a beast.

However, there was no sign of anyone behind him. There was only a slightly rippling gray-black mist that brushed lightly across the walls and the ground, making a rustling sound.

"Um?"

He frowned.

After pausing for a second, Bai Xiao continued to move forward.

“Click, click, click, click!”

here we go again!

He turned around again in an instant, and the muscles in his right arm bulged exaggeratedly, like a thick car tire, with terrifying blue veins showing through.

The ferocious expression and raised fist are extremely dangerous.

However, there was still no one behind him. It seemed that the overlapping footsteps just now were just an illusion, or it just happened that one of the steps was on a loose piece of floor, which caused the loud sound.

"Am I too sensitive?"

Bai Xiao relaxed slightly, his face calmed down, and he muttered to himself.

However, just behind him, or on the back of his upper body, there was a black shadow quietly crawling there, with a strange smile on his face. It was a ragged child, with pure black eyes motionless, quietly staring at the back of Bai Xiao's head, only his mouth was getting wider and wider.

Finally, it reached an arc that almost split the face into two.

A tentacle with fangs stretched out from the dark mouth, trembling as it advanced inch by inch, and in a moment it was about to hit the back of the white owl's head.

"You think I didn't notice, little brat?"

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.

Hiss hiss hiss…

A huge black snake head suddenly popped out from Bai Xiao's left shoulder. A pair of savage scarlet eyes stared back at the child quietly. The snake's tongue was slightly sticking out, revealing an extremely fierce and murderous aura.

You can even see human emotions from these two snake eyes!

"roar!!!"

The python's head suddenly opened, its huge and ferocious fangs protruded, and its upper and lower jaws opened in an arc, enough to swallow the body of an adult!

With a grunt!

Before the child could react, he was eaten alive by the python. Gulu, black gas evaporated from the gaps between its scales.

“It tastes terrible…”

Bai Xiao stood quietly there, slowly raised his hand, and gently stroked the head of the python that was poking out from his shoulder. The scales of the python were smooth and delicate.

"Your family is next."

Bai Xiao looked forward quietly, and two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the mist, both with strange smiles on their faces and staring with dark eyes.

"I will send your parents and reunite with you..."
